Are you storing anything other than ice in the bin?

Storing anything other than the ice produced by the ice maker can cause damage to the internal mechanisms in the ice maker module. This damage could cause the ice maker to over produce ice.

NOTE: This also includes adding or storing bagged ice in the ice bin.
